SVZ advice when they started the series was "make it as local as possible to give it as much international appeal as possible."
A lot of it is accurate: the bureaucracy, the "pappaperm" (mandatory paternal leave), the weather and the landscape, the small town atmosphere and mentality etc. Some aspects are just silly or exagurated, but there is definatley a large element of recognition for us. )
I'll give you an example of how unlikely Norway can be
A short stretch of the coast is named Stadt. At Stadt there are no islands to protect against the open sea, so that stretch is an old ship's graveyard. As it happens Stadt is a tongue of land that's quite narrow at the base.

So what can we do to make the sea lane along the coast safer and quicker?
You build a tunnel for ships!
The building of the tunnel hasn't started yet, but much of the funding is in place. It will look like this:
To quote Monty Python: "Don't go there, it's a silly place!"
Consistently good writing and excellent turns from all involved.
I love this series too...really clever writing and great story line that just keeps delivering.
Do you know when it starts again?
No I dont. I usually watch on Netflix or Internet ... For a series in its sixth season it's kept remarkably on top form. don't think there has been a mediocre series.
I never drooled over Chris Noth in Sex and The City but I love his stints in TGW.
David Hyde Pierce pops up in this series and Matthew Goode pops up in Downton.
I've just added it to my sky never miss...so I'll give you a heads up...
Love David Hyde Pierce...and I can see him fitting in nicely!

My favourite comedy show of all time is 'Frasier' but hot on its heels is 'Modern Family'.
What a tour de force that is! Every episode is a gem and constantly makes me belly laugh.
Every actor delivers in this programme whether it's the kids or the old pros like Ed O'Neill.
The only American Comedies that I have every really liked, were ELR and KOQ. Friends is also a favorite but it is very overrated and there are some unfunny Moments in there.

:x I loved Malcolm in the middle, fantastic show ) along with
( Can't remember the name of it ) the show about a kid growing up
In the 60s, and scrubs.

I've watched many episodes of a series called " Supernatural " about two
Brothers fighting demons ( my daughters are big fans of the show) but from
The shows I've seen it looks a fun show. -{

Recorded the whole series of 'Anarchy In Manchester'...just halfway through it but it's a great series...narrated by John Cooper Clarke and based on the Tony Wilson show called So It Goes from the 1970's....it showcases all the musical talent of the time (many recorded for their first TV appearances)...so far it's had the Sex Pistols, The Stranglers, The Jam, Magazine, Buzzcocks, Elvis Costello (both with and without The Attractions), Siouxie And The Banshees, Ian Dury, The Clash...plus a few others...great stuff -{

Superb.
I agree that Modern Family is tops in television comedy. -{ Right up there with The Big Bang Theory for me.
A new BBC production commencing next year that may be of interest.. Neal Purvis and Robert Wade will write the script for SS-GB, which is based on Len Deighton's alternate history novel of the same name. The five part series is set in Nazi-occupied London and imagines that Germany won the Battle of Britain.

A few years later, an author called Robert Harris wrote a.very similar book.called "Fatherland". The literary critics gave it a lot more coverage and praise than Deighton's.

My girlfriend and I have been binge-watching 'Sons of Anarchy' on Netflix, ran out of those episodes and have been keeping up with the current season...the series is going to end in two episodes---it is dark, violent...and exceedingly entertaining.

I was very late to the party with TGW. Only started watching it about a year ago but watched all 5 series very quickly.
I don't think David Hyde Pierce will ever escape 'Niles' but the humour in TGW will fit his style very well.

I will certainly look forward to that ! Always loved the book and with it being in five parts, it shouldn't be a 'rush job' -{

I was surprised to see the BBC are continuing Atlantis. Its crap! - As far as I am concerned, Atlantis is on an ocean planet in the Pegasus Galaxy.
